Based upon this week's unsettling developments in the Asian Pacific, primarily the recent US Navy destroyer "drive-by" the Spratly Islands deliberately provoking China's ire, and most recently an incident involving a Russian plane escorted by US jets away from a US aircraft carrier in the Sea of Japan, Press TV called upon me to comment. Of course I take every opportunity to vent my concerns about US Empire's willful determination to control, bully and otherwise oppress and destroy people and nations around the world. So here's my latest rant today on Press TV...

Wednesday, October 28, 2015

On Tuesday the US Navy guided cruise missile destroyer the USS Lassen sailed within 12 nautical miles of Spratly Islands in the South China Sea despite repeated warnings from China that such overt action would be taken as a deliberate provocation in an already strained relationship between the United States and China. Alarmed Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Yesui immediately summoned US Ambassador to China Max Baucus chastising him for the naval envoy’s near island pass-by, calling it an “extremely irresponsible action”and “a threat to China’s national sovereignty.” China’s Communist Party run Global Timesdeclared that by exercising tactful restraint but preparing for the worst, China is showing the White House that it “is not frightened to fight a war with the US in the region.” The article goes on to say that should any US ships linger in the area, China must “launch electronic interventions, and even send out warships, lock them by fire-control radar and fly over the US vessels.”

Cast-iron facts show that time and again the United States recklessly uses force and starts wars,

stirring things up where once there was stability, causing the bitterest of harm to those countries

directly involved.

Despite knowing the US naval destroyer would be perceived by China as a direct act of aggression, the Pentagon had been pushing for a naval challenge to China’s claims over the islands since last May. US military strategists insist that US patrols in the area need to be ongoing and regular as opposed to more than three years apart which is when a US naval vessel last passed through the Spratly archipelago. As if to egg China on, an anonymous US official boasted, “We will do it again. We sail in international waters at a time of our choosing.” Clearly with so much at stake, warmongering hawks are pressuring Obama into yet more confrontation with US adversaries Russia and China.

Other US puppet nation allies like the Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan and Japan are also disputing claims of their own with China over island territories and are eager for their USA protectorate to prove that its global hegemony still reigns supreme despite Russia’s recent challenge to US control over the Middle East. Like virtually everything, the bottom line is money, $5.3 trillion a year in global trade and 30% of the world’s oil supply pass through the busy Asian Pacific sea lane.

Already embroiled in a fierce currency war as well as a heated cyber-war, not to mention a covert saboteur war of incendiary explosion exchange, it now appears Obama is willing to add to his war itinerary by risking to ignite a world war. Author-journalist John Wright wrote in an article featured in RT entitled“China is no longer a colony of the West and will not be bullied:”

We can only continue to expose the rampant hypocrisy and double standards that informs US

engagement with other nations and regions… Also clear is that the only path to peace and

stability is a multipolar alternative to the unipolarity enjoyed by the US over the past three

decades.

Fresh off having his bluff called by Putin in the Middle East when earlier this month Putin outed Obama’s fake war against ISIS, the bruised, sagging superpower ego of US Empire of Chaos appears now on a diehard cruising-for-a-bruising mission in the South China Sea. Or as neocon Defense Secretary Ashton Carter arrogantly baited China earlier this month:

Make no mistake, the United States will fly, sail and operate wherever international law allows,

as we do around the world, and the South China Sea is not and will not be an exception.

Ships navigating outside a twelve nautical mile range of coastal waters are considered within an international neutral zone where nations’ vessels exercise free navigation rights. But the US naval destroyer sailing closer than the twelve mile limit has triggered an intense international drama with still unknown and undetermined consequences. The US bone of contention is what the feds call the artificial buildup of land, an estimated 3000 acres of turf built upon reefs and rocks that China’s been busily reclaiming, digging up sand drudge from the ocean floor and constructing facilities that include a future airstrip. Despite Chinese president Xi Jinping’s assurance last month echoed again this month by a prominent Chinese general that the island development is strictly for civilian purposes, previous statements out of Beijing have specified intentions for both civilian and military use. Because these newly emerging islands that China is claiming are not considered natural land masses, the US government maintains that a patrolling warship that sails less than twelve nautical miles from artificially built up islands is not in actual violation of any international sea law, and by technicality, this contention is correct.

But once again the United States is taking full advantage operating on its long cherished yet grandiose notion of US exceptionalism. In virtually every Obama speech he incessantly invokes American exceptionalism as his justification passport for every global transgression committed by the US Empire. As if granted by God given decree, the US alone holds exclusionary rights to go and do anything it wants anywhere it wants in the world by land, air or sea, while the rest of the world must comply in strict accordance with agreed upon international law. This phony double standard has worn ever so thin on the rest of the world. Moreover, if roles were reversed and a foreign power’s nuclear armed warships were defiantly resisting all Empire demands to cease and desist vowed acts of aggression, the US would feel fully justified in attacking any invading force as it sees fit. But invariably for well over a century now the imperialistic US Empire automatically invokes a license cloaked in self-anointed exceptionalism that hypocritically permits it to freely operate killing people and nations around the globe at will with absolute impunity. Those days are over for the no longer invincible sole world superpower delusionally bent on maintaining its unipolar prowess to do as it pleases wherever and whenever simply because it can.

As an emerging global giant of a nation possessing the most people on earth, China has been flexing its muscle economically as evidenced earlier this year when the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank drew all of America’s foremost allies rushing to join as founding members. Clearly this marked a turning point where international balance of power is rapidly shifting from West to East. But then when truth be told, can anyone really blame China and Russia for exercising their unified power to join forces in order to defend themselves against global superpower bully America?

Pressed by America’s overly aggressive yet failed strategy to isolate both Russia and China by pinning them in along their national borders and overtly instigating conflict at their doorstep as in Ukraine and covertly throughout Central Asia, aligning former Soviet Eastern bloc nations as NATO-EU members, and pointing nuclear warhead missiles directly into Russia, the two Eastern powers quickly reformed a defensive political and economic alliance that includes a $400 billion dollar natural gas pipeline deal and a commitment to extend their influence and power globally.

In the immediate aftermath of February 2014’s US induced coup in Kiev and Putin managing to keep his Crimean naval base intact after the people of Crimea democratically voted to be annexed, the West led by a foiled Obama proceeded to demonize Putin and instantly restart a second cold war installment that brought about US manipulation of drastically lowered oil prices and economic sanctions that are hurting Europe far more than Russia. These turn of events came just months after Putin saved face for Obama while perhaps saving the world for the rest of us by averting potential world war when Putin brokered a last minute deal with Assad to turn in his chemical weapons after Obama had falsely accused Assad over the Damascus chemical weapons attack that in fact was perpetrated by Obama-backed Islamic terrorists. Obama knowingly used the bogus false flag attack in August 2013 as his flimsily disguised excuse to preemptively launch air strikes on Assad forces and willfully risk WWIII. Thankfully the world with Putin’s help stopped the globalist puppet in his tracks. But with the invention of the latest fake US monster ally-on-steroids ISIS, Obama and company deceitfully finagled their way back into Syria to resume acting out their OCD compulsion for an Assad regime change.

Putting up with continual abuse from US Empire as the world’s only superpower over the last quarter century, as karmic payback Russia and China are now leading the way with BRICS to remove the US dollar/petrodollar as the standard international currency. Even longtime European allies United Kingdom, Germany and France have made overt moves toward abandoning the USD. Also due to Empire’s global destruction and very real threats, in recent years Russia and China have been forced to escalate their own buildup of military budgets, military strength and arms proliferation, so much so that Pentagon generals are publicly worried their armed capability may even surpass in key strategic areas such as air and space hypersonic weaponry the unmatched until recently US Empire killing machine. As it is, back in January this year any hope that Russia and the US might come to an agreement over nuclear disarmament was lost, opening the floodgate to yet another high speed global arms race that can only lead to even more destructively horrific consequences.

Yet for many decades the annual US military budget dwarfed all nations in comparison, up until a few years ago spending nearly as much as the rest of the world combined. But times have changed and though Russia still only spends $50-78 billion while China military spending is up by 10% this year to over $140 billion compared to America’s near $600 billion on national defense, recently Russia and China have significantly closed the gap in military strength. Of course the Pentagon losing $8.5 trillion it somehow cannot account for since 1996 explains how China and Russia have caught up to US making far more prudent use of their defense budget than a thoroughly corrupted Empire in decline. Take for instance the strides in Russian technology to disable cruise missiles and enemy military space satellites along with sophisticated electronic intelligence weaponry Russia is now operating inside Syria, threatening to neutralize and effectively shut down Israel’s vast surveillance apparatus and military dominance over the region.

Putin’s air strikes in Syria are doing what Obama’s fake efforts never could, actually killing terrorists and forcing 3000 of them to run for shelter back to their support bases in Turkey. In the first week alone Russian air strikes destroyed 40% of Islamic jihadists’ infrastructure. The highly touted buffer zone that US-NATO-Turkey insist on maintaining in Syria is no less than their cover to ensure that ISIS’ supply line from Turkey remains open and protected. But Syrian and Kurdish forces with Russian air support are closing in on even cutting off the buffer zone that in effect will leave a bruised and battered ISIS forces under siege. In a feeble attempt to save face earlier this month while Putin was eradicating Obama’s terrorists, Obama continued to defiantly keep his Islamic State-Al Nusra supply line open in Syria by airdropping yet 50 more tons of arms to the very enemy he is supposed to be fighting against for over a year now. The world is waking up and now onto the traitor president - Barack Hussein Obama.

With Obama’s declared Asian pivot a couple years ago (which has also failed miserably), the US boldly called for expanding Empire presence through militarization of East Asia, installing US military and naval bases in the Philippines and Vietnam, giving the go-ahead for Japan to increase its military strength, and despite South Korea’s three-point proposal seeking reunification with North Korea, the Empire of Chaos and Destruction will have no part in any effort toward peace, singlehandedly polarizing the globe on every continent towards a disastrous West versus East military showdown. Just as the USS Lassen’s voyage this week, again it’s all about curbing the rising power of China.

The US military occupies armed bases in over a thousand locations on this planet. The US Special Operations alone are secretly deployed in over 147 nations around the world - that’s in over 75% of the planet’s total number of countries. Just this week in response to all the US military bases in Europe, Putin told a BBC reporter, “Why are you threatening us?“ and “what business have they got there?” No other nation on earth comes even remotely close to wielding so much blatant naked power over the rest of the world as US Empire. During this last year alone the planet has undergone more multinational joint military exercises and unprecedented show of force by both sides than any previous time in modern history, all ostensibly prepping in lockstep madness towards a World War III scenario. Last December the House of Representatives granted Obama full war power approval to initiate war against Russia. The US government has proposed preemptive nuclear strike plans against Russia.

And now with Empire’s latest brazen act of defiance in the South China Sea, the mounting cold war tensions are reaching the boiling point, risking what could easily become the fuse that ignites an irreversible, catastrophic world war. Unquestionably it would be the direct and deliberate result of the maniacal, warmongering neocons who for decades have hijacked Washington, and are now in the final stages of insanely pushing humanity off the doomsday cliff.

In possession of the world’s largest army, China is challenging US Empire’s global hegemony attempting to assert its own regional power and presence within the South China Sea. China has repeatedly warned the United States to stay clear of its disputed Spratly Islands. But not wanting to be seen as any more of a paper tiger weakling than he already has, and still no doubt fuming over being outmaneuvered again, outplayed, outclassed and thoroughly humiliated by Putin’s take charge offensive in the Middle East, Obama now has sent a nuclear armed missile destroyer into harm’s way in total defiance of Chinese warnings, automatically placing the entire world population in harm’s way. And it won’t be the last time.

What we have operating here is a lame duck administration that currently appears to no longer have complete control over its mental faculties, willing to plunge the earth into global conflict that could potentially end all life on planet earth. With US already run out of money and collapse of its house of cards economy overdue, war profiteering globalists never fail to manufacture war as their go-to option, knowing a cataclysmic world war will allow them to usher in their centuries old global objective of one world government. The eugenic-minded, anti-life evildoers in Washington actually believe that as the elite’s chosen puppets with well-prepared luxurious underground bunkers as their emergency contingency plans carefully in place, they and their globalist puppet masters will win their next big war and survive to celebrate their victory. In contrast, it seems that the only real voice of reason coming from this unraveling global stage gone berserk is Putin who readily admitted a weak ago that “there are no winners in a global conflict,” especially if all of us above ground earthlings are dead.

How can a
people who have struggled long years under oppression throw off their
oppressors and establish a free society? The problems are immense, but their
solution lies in the education and enlightenment of the people and the
emergence of a spirit that will serve as a foundation for independence and
self-government.

Thomas Jefferson

After utilizing
the geopolitics lens to dissect how globalists have been
fulfilling their New World Order tyranny through a pervasive divide and conquer
strategy applied globally, this second installment examines how they’re
regularly using that same proven formula domestically to divide Americans
socio-culturally in any number of fragmented ways. Ample evidence shows how the
elite has used its oligarch-controlled mainstream media to spread lies and propaganda in
order to shape public opinion through nonstop false flag incidents and nonstop feed of false narrative disinformation.
For a very long time this divide and conquer MO on the domestic front has been among
the feds’ favorite tools of manipulation in their mighty arsenal to effectively
polarize Americans into turning against themselves.

The robber
baron bankster himself J.P. Morgan commented after the Great Depression:

When through a process of law the common people
have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed by
the strong arm of the law applied by the central power of leading financiers.
People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well
known among our principle men now engaged in forming an imperialism of [crony]
capitalism to govern the world. By dividing the people we can
get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance
to us.

Three
quarters of a century later when the 2008 housing bubble crisis exploded 5 million homes were lost by hapless Americans fraudulently tricked
by devious criminal banksters (that not more than one ever served any jail time over), the mega-rich crime boss’
prophetic words take on even greater significance.

As a
purposely orchestrated tag team, the US militarized police state and mainstream media take hoodwinking turns straight out
of the Hegelian dialectic playbook when the DC crime cabal 1)
creates a crisis, 2) imposes its “solution” that 3) then tightens its
tyrannical noose. Among the most obvious examples of how the elite is
attempting to divide America is harnessing both the power of police state brutality
(trained in antiterrorism by Israeli apartheid oppressors) and power of its
media to prey selectively upon Americans to shape public opinion and intentionally
stir up racial tensions. Mainstream media typically looks the other way not even covering black on white
crime yet when it’s
reversed, MSM invariably enflames the racial divide by endlessly exploiting a
number of high profile murder cases when white males kill black males. Then
when black protestors clash with largely white police forces, Obama regularly
sends his favorite race card advisor Al Sharpton onto the scene to bombastically stir
the melting pot to a turbulent boil. After another innocent black life is lost,
angry African Americans are more than justified taking to their city streets to
exercise their First Amendment right to protest. But then as in Ferguson and
Baltimore enter globalist multibillionaire George Soros’ paid mercenary
agitators shipped in
to further stir up yet more civil unrest, deliberately delivering only more
license to kill for the police terrorizing black communities across the nation.
The media’s biased policy of sensationalizing white murder of blacks is
designed to fan the flames of racial hatred of race-baited
blacks, eliciting their violent reaction.

Meanwhile,
the press regularly reinforces the notion of white guilt. Immediately following
the Charleston shootings earlier this year, Salon
was tweeting “White America must answer for the
Charleston church massacre.”It’s
reached absurd extremes - AmeriCorps volunteers are encouraged to wear white guilt bracelets to cope with their white privilege
and colleges across the country are offering courses in White Guilt 101. Wikipedia defines
white guilt as “individual
or collective guilt felt by
some white people for harm
resulting from racist treatment of ethnic minorities by whites both historically and
currently.” And for
decades now mainstream media’s carried the white guilt torch.

That said, racism still looms large in polarized America today. Blacks
continue to be daily victims of racial profiling, suspected of committing a crime in
stores or getting pulled over while simply driving down any street USA based
solely on their skin color. Black church burnings have reached an epidemic
level with a half dozen in the St. Louis area alone this
month torched to the ground. And the gross inequality of the racist American
judicial system that arrests, convicts, punishes with longer sentences and
executes far more African Americans than any other ethnic group adds more
concrete evidence that racism is still raging and dividing Americans.

With US
citizens of color making up the majority of the US prison population despite
comprising just 12% of the nation’s total population, 2.2 million Americans are
currently incarcerated, accounting for over 25% of the world’s total prison
population. As the world’s worst human rights violator for locking up its own
citizens, the US dwarfs all other nations on earth including the most populous
nation China despite representing only 5% of the world population. With one in three black men going to prison, African American males are six
times more likely than whites and 2.5 times more likely than Hispanic males to
end up behind bars. From these startling facts alone one might arguably
conclude that the feds have launched an all-out war against darker-skinned poor
Americans.

Just coming
to light this year are the hidden black hole prisons springing up around the land of the
not so free where police in places like Chicago are suddenly picking up
targeted citizens who then disappear without rights for an undefined length of
time. Families and attorneys never even learn of their whereabouts. These
selected detainees are treated much like Guantanamo prisoners interrogated and often
tortured. Journalist Will Potter recently disclosed another Pandora’s
Box inside the US prison system writing about secret black holes existing
within two federal prisons called Communications Management Units (CMU’s). He
visited the one inside Marion Federal Prison in Illinois, the other is located in
Terre Haute, Indiana. High profile political prisoners are being victimized under
the worst kind of inhumane conditions. Most of these inmates are Muslim
although the feds are also sending environmental activists convicted of
terrorist acts to them as well. Potter maintains that those incarcerated at
CMU’s are transferred there because of their race, religion and political
beliefs. This is totalitarian America’s gulag answer for political activists
deemed enemies of the state.

In recent
years America’s militarized police state appears to have declared open season
on unarmed black Americans, cold-bloodedly gunning them down in alarming numbers, overtly sending the message that
black lives don’t matter. Of course regardless of skin color, US cops suited
and armed for combat are known to kill anybody who happens to wander into their
combat zone at the wrong time. But an inordinate percentage of their K-I-A’s
are African American. Law enforcement has conveniently not kept close track for obvious reasons. But by all accounts,
trigger happy police are far more apt to pull the trigger on blacks than on either
whites or Hispanics.

In response
to this growing epidemic that some would say borders on inner city purging, the
antiracist activist group Black Lives Matter sprang up across America in
efforts to curb the spreading violence. When protests in Canada and America were
joined in solidarity by demonstrations in the UK over increasing state
sponsored police terrorism, the feds and media tag team immediately began
attempting to criminalize Black Lives Matter, calling it a hate group responsible
for the murder of white police officers and placing it under intensive
surveillance by the US intelligence community. In spite of another New York City police officer killed in the line of duty this week,
records show that for every NYPD officer killed, New York’s “finest” are
murdering four unarmed New Yorkers over a fifteen year stretch from
1999 to 2014 with 10 of those years not one officer being killed. Regardless of
how media distorts and twists reality to turn Black Lives Matter into an easy
scapegoat, the national average of unarmed American citizens being gunned down
by militant police to police deaths far exceeds the NYC ratio of four to one. Acclaimed
Canadian professor-author-philosopher John McMurtry stated in a recent interview:

I have travelled alone with only backpack possession through
the world, and have found no state in which police forces are more habituated
to violent bullying, more likely to draw a gun, more discriminatory against the
dispossessed, and more arbitrarily vicious in normal behavior. The US now leads
the globe in an underlying civil war of the rich against the poor.

Of course America
has a longstanding pattern of racial targeting. This latest oppression harkens
back to J. Edgar’s FBI harassment, infiltration and murder of Black Panther
Party members back in the sixties and early seventies. Both Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were also placed under constant
surveillance right up till their assassinations which have both been linked to
federal law enforcement. In addition to targeting high profile African American
activists, FBI’s COINTELPRO (1956-1971) singled out a number of
other groups deemed potential enemies of the state as well. Members of the American Indian Movement and anti-Vietnam War protesters like Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS) were both infiltrated and targeted
for continual harassment as well.

Shortly after
the Pearl Harbor attack, FDR’s executive order rounded up 120,000 innocent US
citizens who happened to be Japanese, shamefully placing them in prison camps for the remainder of the war. And
before those atrocities came centuries of genocide against Native Americans and
enslavement against Africans and their descendants. Thus, the US government has
a long checkered past history of racism, persecution, torture, imprisonment and
mass murder of US citizens perceived by the tyrannical state as either threats or
expendables to be exploited and/or willfully destroyed. From the very start this
divide and conquer and exterminate strategy by the ruling elite has been
operationalized throughout American history.

The Justice Department’s refusal to hold militant white police
officers accountable for the murder of so many defenseless black Americans only
demonstrates the criminally racist policies coming out of the first African
American president’s administration. Sadly, when both white cops and legally
protected “stand-your-ground” white civilians (as in the Trayvon Martin case) get
away with murder, their lack of accountability has only increased the number of
blacks being murdered. Right after George Zimmerman was acquitted in the Martin
case, The Daily Mail’s
headline reported
“white people who kill black
people in ‘Stand Your Ground’ states are 354% more likely to be cleared of
murder.”Since the embattled civil
rights of the fifties and sixties were fought and attained by courageous
African Americans (joined by a few white supporters), overall during the
ensuing decades the people themselves in white and black America have come together
making some significant strides toward overcoming the formidable racial
barriers that historically divide this nation. In most places in the US today you
commonly see white and black couples together, and in fact a thorough mixing of
all the races is visible in the world’s biggest melting pot nation. Pew
Research Center studying marriages that were formed in 2010 found that 15% were interracial, twice the rate in 1980. The most obvious
indication of racial intermarriage is the tangible result produced - America’s younger
population is clearly becoming tanner in complexion and it’s definitely not
from tanning salons nor sun worshipping.

Yet if you
listen to the media talking heads like predatory sharks feeding off the unrest
in Ferguson and Baltimore by hyping up this violent cycle of oppression, often enough
even defending police state aggression, you’d think that we’re on the verge of
race wars in America. The authorities’ decision in both cases to unleash more oppressive
police state retaliation against protestors clearly reflects a widespread,
highly coordinated, top down federal policy confirming America’s growing
tyranny specifically intended to escalate yet more civil and racial unrest,
protest, rioting and violence. Between Washington and its MSM propaganda
department, a divisive agenda to instigate race wars in America seems a fair
and logical conclsion.

Among the
countless false flags in recent years, no more is one so obvious in revealing
the feds’ sinister agenda to trigger race wars than the alleged Charleston South
Carolina shooting at the AME Church in June. Obama’s $29 mil hush money payoff rushed
through within a couple days after the incident to victims’ families and their
flattened, unemotional, highly suspect responses during on camera interviews
immediately after losing their loved ones. The Sunday sermon at the very crime
scene where just a couple days earlier nine African Americans were allegedly
shot dead. The tampered photo where a white supremacist patch worn by the
suspect was photoshopped as a thinly disguised “badge of honor” afterthought.
The unveiling that the suspect had lots of recent African American friends on
Facebook and others from his past who unanimously corroborated he never showed signs
of racism. Hillary’s Charleston visit just in time for the feds’ live action
civil unrest training timed perfectly with the shooting followed by her and
Barack’s “gun control” mantra played out like a B for badly scripted movie.
This list of unbelievable anomalies points to another federalized false flag
makeover calculated
to foment racial divide in America. Of course the incident’s timing put into
high gear the Confederacy rebel flag controversy feeding off raw emotions
further designed to create black and white division. June’s dog wagging,
in-our-face false flag was also timed perfectly on the very same day so as to
take heat off US Congress being bribed with over a million globalist dollars to
vote giving dictator Obama his TPP fast track. All too obvious was it an overt
ploy to racially divide the nation while sneaking through one giant step closer
towards the globalist agenda for one world government.

An overtly
oppressive pattern was also observed in 2011 during the feds’ nationalized police state offensive to use law enforcement to brutally extinguish
the Occupy movement in the US. As is typical, the massively militant nationwide
assault was preceded by mainstream media’s incessant attack portraying the
protestors as criminal rapists, dirty, unkempt slackers, troublemaking anarchists, and ridiculed clueless lost souls
dirtying up the public landscape and parks where they had no business
occupying. MSM had a field day swaying and turning the American public against
the movement prior to the Gestapos moving in to “clean up” the mess they left
on municipal property. Once again, the one-two punch of media and police state
acting in synchronized fascist tyranny.

The bottom
line reality that lay just beneath all that negatively spun, surface propaganda
is that no fascist dictatorship will permit a growing population of dissidence
directly confronting the oppressors and their one-sided, highly rigged,
corrosively corrupt, grossly unjust and broken debtor slave system responsible
for so much theft, death and destruction in the world. In actuality the Occupy
movement was a grassroots uprising that was beginning to take hold and
spread internationally aimed directly at the ruling elite and the globalists
never felt so threatened. So they unleashed their MSM and fascist foot soldiers
armed with internationally outlawed tear gas and bully clubs to violently quell
the uprising before it gained any more global momentum. The oppression used in
America was matched worldwide with the same iron fisted crackdown in Hong Kong and elsewhere around the world. The
globalists won another battle in their war against humanity.

By its very
nature, no totalitarian police state tolerates either dissidence or truth
and resorts to violent crackdown criminalizing those vowing to exercise free
speech. The dangerous game in twenty-first century America under Obama’s
Homeland Insecurity is to label any group or individual it chooses as
terrorists and with blatant disregard of our constitutional liberties, locks us
up and/or assassinates us. Thanks to such draconian unconstitutional laws as
the Patriot Act and the 2012’s NDAA, just like in prewar Nazi Germany,
US citizens can be taken away in the middle of the night by US military raiding
our homes without warrant, arrest us without charge, and detain us without
trial, legal representation or due process for an indefinite period of time.

The feds’
response in America repeatedly confirms that our government no longer complies
with US rule of law explicitly guaranteed by our Constitution. The treasonous Obama
regime has proven over and over again that it refuses to uphold our sacred First
Amendment rights of free speech, peaceful assembly and protest. Subsequently
since 9/11, domestic US human rights violations have soared dramatically in
recent years, revealing a sinister federal agenda to intentionally induce
rising levels of civil unrest, chaos, violence and widespread crises in order
to then justify its thinly veiled excuse to ultimately declare martialized
Obama law. And through our supreme dictator’s unprecedented number of notoriously
unconstitutional executive orders, possibly the next false flag may be the one
that fulfills his militarized tyrannical wet dream in the land of the enslaved.
For decades the federal government has been methodically planning and willfully
inciting increasing levels of civil unrest, chaos and citizen revolt amidst
long planned false flag crises ultimately leading us to martial law and
potentially to America’s second civil war.

At the same
time and certainly not by accident, the feds also made the calculated decision
a couple decades ago to systematically militarize law enforcement with overkill weaponry and armed
combat mechanization, reflecting an agenda to destroy the US by bringing their years
of counterinsurgency wars from abroad home to the streets of America. And even
if the massive unprecedented Jade Helm military exercise conducted for three
months over the summer in nine states didn’t result in martial law as many in
the alternative media feared, Jade Helm proved both a psyops and beta test for prolonged military occupation on
US soil that does bring America one giant steppingstone closer to martial law. When
every non-military, non-law enforcement federal agency - the National Weather Service, US Postal Service, Social Security
Administration, Fish and Wildlife Department, USDA and the IRS – are all buying
up billions of rounds of hollow point bullets, it can only mean one thing. It confirms
Americans’ worst nightmare, that their own government has a demonic agenda to
kill its fellow Americans, widening the deep chasm growing between the authoritarian
security state and its fearing-for- their-lives citizens. And as time passes,
the cold hard reality appears only to be mounting.

Through this
polarizing, extremely sobering process, a
diabolical plan to willfully turn US citizens against each other has been co-designed
to create a dangerously toxic culture of growing distrust, fear and paranoia
while simultaneously increasing authoritarian tyranny and control. The feds’
wars of terror brought demonstrably home to roost has splintered Americans into
two disparate, conflicting camps. As a result, a fear-driven, obedient,
brainwashed, dumbed down and docile citizenry of sheeple that simply do what their
told, following the governing authority’s methodical conditioning, brainwashing
and programmed social engineering accompanied by pressured demands toward
hyper-vigilance bordering on paranoia, believing that increasing numbers of
their fellow Americans are subversively lurking nearby as their homegrown
terrorist enemy. They listen to MSM marginalize and demonize the patriots as
tin foil conspiracy nuts, entrenched in their denial that their own government
could possibly be their own worst enemy. Of course this camp is held in line by
the globalists’ army of henchmen, the government enforcers, be they
politicians, military, law enforcement and the millions from the military
industrial complex.

As darkness
descends on the end days of Amerika as a once great nation, scare tactics
are being relentlessly propagated to purposely drive a wedge between the
American people. A concerted federal effort’s been made to enlist US citizens
to join Homeland Security and Obama’s so called civilian national security force of neo-Nazis (just like in prewar
Germany) working hand-in-hand with law enforcement and 78 DHS-funded state and municipal fusion
centers acting as
informants turning in their fellow neighbors for any suspected “unlawful”
activities. Not exactly comforting though not all that surprising is realizing
that to our own federal government the propagandized fake enemy - Islamic State
terrorists - are deemed as less of a threat and danger than us American
patriots committed to taking our country back from the traitors who stole our
liberties and nation we still love. The feds
are now calling us the enemy and are using their inexhaustible resources (paid
with our tax dollars) and prioritized powers to destroy us.

Obama’s
latest thinly veiled Trojan horse being deployed against us is the
Strong Cities Network. It’s actually a globalized extension of the nationalized
state and municipal fusion centers in partnership with the United Nations
spreading its snooping claws to New York City, Atlanta, Denver, Minneapolis, Paris, London, Montreal,
Beirut and Oslo. Its stated purpose is to combat violent extremism worldwide.
That’s Orwellian doublespeak for tightening the ever widening noose of global tyranny and oppression
around all our necks.

The feds
have an expanding list of designated “homegrown” enemies now operationally defined
by their current favorite buzzword “extremists.” “Extremism” is loosely defined
to strategically include all of us military
veterans -23 million at last count - (particularly those fresh off terror
war battlefronts) who proudly served our nation are being repaid for our
sacrifice and service by being targeted as their number one enemy. Talk about
betrayal! Department of Homeland Security and FBI’s Operation Vigilant
Eagle since 2009 has all vets in feds’ crosshairs. Also high on their list
of enemies is the growing camp of Americans
justifiably upset over their oppressive, overreaching government invading
their privacy and running roughshod over their cherished lost civil liberties, any
and all political activists and dissenters, all gun owners determined to
exercise their Second Amendment rights, all fundamentalist Christians, all anti-abortion
advocates, all Tea Party members, all tax activists, all property rights
activists, all home-schoolers, any suspicious looking illegal aliens, or anyone
else perceived to look or act different or strange like they don’t belong, all
these groups are insidiously being lumped together as the emerging domestic terrorist enemy, designated as enemy belligerents,
enemy sympathizers, potentially violent extremists and enemies of the state.
Increasingly ominous is the fact that such a large segment of the American
population’s every move is being electronically tracked and monitored on
growing watch lists as the next targeted enemy for harassment, persecution, impending
imprisonment and potential elimination.

Despite more
Americans every day recognizing that their federal government is neither out to
protect them nor represent their interests but only to subjugate, control, enslave,
imprison and potentially murder them, the globalists/feds’ divide and conquer
brainwashing agenda feebly counteracts by aggressively ramping up its greasily-oiled,
ticking time-bomb fakery machine. This year more than ever the frequency of
mass shootings in America is off the charts, seemingly taking place every other
week, complete with some of the same crisis actors showing up in incident after
incident with just too many enormous sized holes in the official narrative to
avoid exposure as yet another flimsily disguised, staged false flag event. Following on the heels of the
Charleston false flag, the shooting of US military personnel at the Chattanooga sites by another Islamic extremist adds
more salt to the familiar wounds afflicting Moslems worldwide, not unlike January’s Hebdo false flag attack in Paris. The globalists’ and feds’
agenda is all too obvious, create racial and religious conflict and divide designed
to lead to more hate crimes while with each passing incident increasing
pressures are brought to bear calling louder and louder for tighter gun control. Meanwhile 23 are dead from another
US bomb wiping out an Afghan hospital. The only gun control needed for humanity’s
sake is Empire gun control.

The media’s
also busily hyping danger at every turn like there’s no tomorrow. Recently an
FBI sting operation was reported by a number of mainstream media outlets purporting
the FBI successfully uncovered an ISIS plot to purchase
nukes. It turns out
that it was just another fear mongering lie being hyped up by MSM. The elite
knows that a population living in daily fear, confusion and ignorance is far more
easily controlled than one that is educated and informed about the sinister plots
and plans that their totalitarian police state government has in store for
them.

That’s
another reason why if the Trans-Pacific Partnership is passed, internet censorship will threaten to cut off the flow of
all accurate information and news to the public. This is exactly what the
globalists want and intend, complete and absolute control so that only lies and
disinformation are disseminated to the spoon-fed misinformed masses. Where all this
tyranny and oppression is leading us is fairly obvious. Martial law will mean no more internet access to
the truth, criminalization of gun ownership as Obama’s agenda is to ratify the
already passed UN treaty banning small arms, giving teeth behind the feds’ enforced
gun confiscation. The screws are tightening with each passing week’s unfolding events.

The present migration crisis in Europe parallels the building crisis that’s
been brewing here in the United States from an unprotected border with Mexico for nearly seven years under Obama’s
watch. US Immigration has been a favorite globalist wedge issue dividing the
nation racially and ethnically. Illegal aliens from Mexico and Central America
have historically been used as scapegoats. Latin American migrant workers do
the hard labor in the Agra-industry illegally exploiting them that few Americans would be willing to do themselves. But Obama’s amnesty
policy has increased tensions amongst a fragmented American
population. Again, be aware that it’s by globalist design that their puppet
Obama has allowed an open border policy while bombing nations in the Middle
East and North Africa that’s driven the mass migration to a head in the West. The
globalists are behind the policies that intentionally create the crises
specifically designed to divide and turn citizens in North America and Europe
against illegal immigrants.

Ever since the
Vietnam War and Nixon declaring his war on drugs, the US foreign policy towards
Latin American nations as well as other nations at war like Afghanistan has actively engaged in covert
criminal partnership with corrupt national governments and controlling powerful drug cartels.
Starting with Reagan’s Iran Contra scandal, George Bush senior, both his sons,
Bill Clinton and Obama have all played active roles employing CIA drug pushers in the ever-thriving multibillion
dollar international drug smuggling industry whereby the federal government
continues bilking enormous profits trafficking dangerous drugs into the US, literally destroying
millions of American lives and further devastating US inner city populations that’s skyrocketed incarceration
rates (over half a million) especially amongst African
Americans. The war on drugs has given rise to the privatized prison
industrial complex
in America that’s mushroomed into an enormous slave labor industry reaping obscenely high $5 billion
profits for corrupt human rights violators operating with little oversight all
at taxpayer and inmate slave expense. The politics of America’s drug war in
large part also created a welfare state that further divides Americans across
both racial and class lines. America’s addiction to both legal drugs through
Big Pharma and alcohol as well as illegal drugs have destroyed millions of
American families as casualties of the globalist drug war and yet more victims
of the divide and conquer. Meanwhile through the years, their criminal central
banking cabal has busily laundered dirty money linked to funding CIA-Black Operations actively pursuing the Empire of
Chaos’ global destabilization agenda.

Another
wedge vehicle being driven home to divide us are recent laws cropping up across
the nation that appear to be anti-family. Apparently thought police at both the
national and state levels of government are pushing a militant LGBT agenda to absurd, divisive heights, in
effect driving a wedge between both gay and straight populations. The public
education agenda is derisively teaching openly gay lifestyle choices in schools
to children from kindergarten through the twelfth grade. There are laws in
California that allow a student 12 or older to be taken off campus without
parental permission to reeducation centers where they are “reeducated,”
instilled with politically correct brainwashing of proper LGBT orientation and
attitude.

Sounds very
much like Hillary’s “fun camps” to reeducate adults who aren’t
quite lapping up her official politically correct adult programming agenda. It’s
one thing to uphold antidiscrimination laws protecting Americans of all
persuasions and lifestyles which are obviously important, but it’s another to
aggressively indoctrinate and brainwash youth [or adults] about individual sexual
preference and alternative lifestyle choices especially at such young
impressionable ages. This appears to be yet another nationalized ploy to
dictate another divisive wedge between people rather than inclusively bring
them together. It also is a longtime subversively globalist agenda to weaken the family bond and family structure.

The
traditional nuclear family unit containing a father, mother and child(ren), now
a diminishing minority in America, has also come under national assault, forced
to take a disfavored backseat to the statist propaganda and oppressive policies.
Even the traditional American family is currently under attack by our
government. Parents’ rights to teach their children their own individual
values, their sense of morality and spiritual/religious convictions have increasingly
been undermined and usurped by rigid statist PC dogma.

As a licensed therapist for many years in Los Angeles, I can
personally attest to the notorious abuses of overzealous authoritarian child
protection services overstepping its rightful bounds by destroying families,
unjustifiably yanking kids out of their family homes, inflicting children in
their care and custody lifelong trauma and abuse, misplacing children in unsafe
home environments (be they with biological family, foster care, group home or
residential care). A thoroughly overburdened, broken system that’s been set up
to protect children is too often only abusing and re-victimizing them as part
of a national assault on the American
family.

The father
of American education John Dewey was a New World Order advocate from
way back. His pro-communist ideology promoting the idea of collectivism and
“progressive” views on education that have permeated US public education over
this last century have never been more fully embedded than they are today. In
April 1972 Harvard med school professor Chester Pierce from the education and psychiatry faculty made the
following statement strongly reflecting Dewey’s NWO bias in a keynote address
at the Association for Childhood Education International:

Every
child in America entering school at the age of five is insane because he comes
to school with certain allegiances toward our founding fathers, toward his
parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being. It’s up to you, teachers, to
make all of these sick children well by creating the international child of the
future.

Spoken like
a truly indoctrinated internationalist, what Pierce had in mind for his global
child of the future is a brainwashed youth devoid of any religion, any sense of
national patriotism and loyalty toward his parents. Indeed all rank and file
NWO ghouls have long viewed love of the Constitution and US national
sovereignty, love of family and love of God as their three biggest barriers keeping them from their totalitarian
panacea. Too many educational professionals maintain a negative, condescending
attitude toward parents believing that their conditioning of their child is
either unhealthy or grossly inadequate and it is the responsibility and indeed
the right of the educational system to properly instill the correct values,
moral code and appropriate beliefs so that the child optimizes his chance of
becoming a healthy, productive, functioning adult, i.e., a good little statist
citizen robot who does exactly what he or she is told, no questions asked.

Collectivism is inherently taught as the standard
education model in today’s Common Core, the mandated national program in
America’s public education system. It preaches the priority of group goals and
group mind over the individual. One’s worth is measured more by what he or she
brings into the group than any individual accomplishment. It’s another example
of programmed dogma de-emphasizing the importance and value of both
individuality as well as individual families. The current educational system stifles
creativity but instead simply prepares young people to fit in as mere cogs in
the larger wheel, conforming, compliant robots incapable of discriminative,
critical thinking that questions or challenges the spoon-fed dogma of the day.
No wonder American student test scores in a myriad of subjects are now
falling near bottom of the international barrel compared to peers from other
countries – all part of the dumbing down process that’s sadly become the American
way of life.

The same
mind control programming through mass media effects are perpetuated to confuse,
conflict and pit women against men and men against women. There’s a common
depiction of weak, emasculated white male in the media who becomes the empowered
woman’s idiot patsy. This negative stereotype of men being projected all over
the media waves is designed to blur and confuse boundaries and roles while
increasing the battle of the sexes raging with rising rates of domestic
violence and sexual assault in America, especially within military ranks and college campuses. Then look at the violent, damaging
messages over the last quarter century saturating popular modern music in the
form of so much of the hip hop and rap, often referring to women as “bitches”
and “hoes,” mere trophy-sexual objects to be used and abused. Conversely, healthy
gender role models are relatively rare in both families as well as the mass
media.

Then there’s
the overplayed stereotype of the irascibly senile grandparent sending
a reinforcing message that makes it easier in our youth-worshipping culture to discard
aging grandpa or grandma into the trash bin of nursing homes to die rather than
treat the elderly with respect, compassion and care within an extended family
setting. Recently passed euthanasia laws in states across the country make it easier to pull the plug on life, especially when the aging are
deemed burdensome, feeble, useless eaters already suffering frequently from
chronic pain anyway. As the economy and family structure come under increasing
levels of stress, elderly and fiduciary abuse has been on the rise. Current
annual estimates are that 2.5 to 3 billion elderly or up to 10% are being
abused. But these numbers fail to take into account the many cases that go
unreported.

As
globalists engage in social engineering programming of the masses through powerful nonstop
24/7 media effects, their diabolical design manifests through subtle and not so
subtle messages geared to insidiously separate, divide, conflict, dumb down and
otherwise cause lasting rifts, walls and wedges between a highly fractured
America that out of ignorance allows globalists to further manipulate, divide
and conquer us on the way to their NWO promise land.

Speaking of
dumbed down, George W. Bush’s black and white thinking uttered in his simpleton mantra
“you’re either with us or against us” has never been more evident. His vowed
intolerance warning Americans against “wild conspiracy theories” that quickly
morphed into the truth movement is yet another illustration of divide and
conquer, dismissing any and all critics of gov.corps’ official false narrative
as deranged, tin foiled hat wearing, paranoid fringe elements never to be taken
seriously. The well-paid shills, the PR propagandists, think tank
scientists and so called experts endlessly paraded before MSM cameras peddling
their doublespeak talking point lies are more sleight of hand distraction to
keep the public forever in the dark, cluelessly ignorant, dumbed down,
confused, fearful and globally misinformed.

The ruling
elite has consolidated its power into six-owned mega-media corporations controlling over 90% of all news and
information outflow to the global masses. Likewise, the globalist-owned big
three newspapers, the Washington Post, the New York Times and LA Times of
course serve the same deceptive function. By engaging in mind control through vacuous forms of endless
entertainment, preoccupying, addicting, programming, brainwashing, titillating,
numbing, desensitizing, and distracting the masses with false lies, propaganda,
superficial filler fluff, big sports and celebrity worship ad nauseam that
purposely alter the hardwiring of the human brain, the truth of the elite’s sinister
agenda largely remains hidden from public awareness and consciousness. This too
is the modern techno-application of the divide and conquer recipe for gaining
and maintaining absolute control since mass media effects carry an enormous
sway and impact over huge segments of the captivated world population audience,
effectively dividing and conquering them from ever generating a united, well
organized, powerful grassroots movement to openly challenge and actively oppose
the systematic unfoldment of NWO tyranny and authoritarian control. Ultimately
this sleight of hand of the dumbing down, disempowering process keeps the
sheeple from ever fully realizing the evil destruction being willfully
perpetrated against them.

Another one
of their divide and conquer ploys working against us for a very long time is
America’s highly corrupt, two party political system. The illusion of Democrats being
substantively different from Republicans is entrenched in US politics. Yet the
uninterrupted evildoing from the Bush to the Obama regime was seamlessly carried out from one
Republican administration to a Democratic one. That’s because they both
represent the same puppet masters who own them. These days especially elected
representatives from the two parties clearly do not operate in the interests of
their voting constituents but instead succumb to the big money special interests of the globalists pouring billions
into their bribed coffers to effectively own them too.

Politicians
spew rhetoric on issues that elicit strong emotional reactions such as
religion, gay marriage and abortion. Yet these hot button topics are at best secondary, diversionary sideshow sleights of
hand, keeping us away from the real issues that hide the pervasive theft and
unfairness of the status quo crony capitalism corruption or how our lives are
so dominated by an elitist handful of psychopathic despots. Any thoughts or
political debate that veer away from this elite corporatist ideology is taboo
and subject to blackout censorship. As long as so many blind Americans continue
blaming the opposing political party or those inflammatory secondary issues as
the main cause of America’s problems, the globalists have the dumbed down
idiots right where they want them, just as J.P. Morgan boasted so long ago.
It’s the classic divide and conquering that’s allowed globalists to use sleight
of hand distraction to conceal their willful destruction of the planet with
complete impunity.

The same
deceptive ploy is involved with labeling people based on the so called political left
or political right, liberal-conservative, progressive-reactionary, hawk-dove,
libertarian, anarchist, socialist, communist, Christian, Jew, Muslim, American,
Russian, they’re all designed as well-worn tools for the elite to pigeonhole
and marginalize us on the way to divide and conquer. The globalists possess a
huge arsenal of weapons of mass destruction and distraction at their disposal,
all geared to erect dividing walls for the purpose of inciting conflict wedges
so the globalist masters can consolidate stricter control over us. Their hidden
agenda is powerfully pervasive and unless we can consciously step outside the
conventional lens by which we so automatically filter, judge and separate
ourselves into factionalized, warring camps, we are all doomed to be the
perpetually weakened victims of their absolute criminal totalitarian control.

Lastly, manipulated
by elite’s oppressively deceitful tactics, the American worker has suffered irreparable
harm for several decades. Against its own self-interest the US labor force has
been duped into division and conflict by the diminished role and undermined
power of labor unions. An example in recent years is Wisconsin Governor Scott
Walker’s union-busting efforts to defeat collective bargaining for state
workers. Increasing loss of job security, the soaring ranks of the chronically unemployed,
deteriorating worker conditions, disappearing pensions for millions driven by a
permanently anemic, faltering global
economy has created the opportunity for the predatory elite to exploit a growing
number of Americans (76%) who live
one paycheck away from homelessness desperately trying to feed their families and
stay afloat. Combined with the impending collapse of the US dollar and crumbling
fragile national economy, currently the American populace is perhaps more
vulnerable, confused, insecure, fear-ridden and divided than ever before in its
history. This entire doom and gloom scenario is the crystallized endgame plan of
the globalists’ concerted will to destroy both the United States as a sovereign
nation and Americans as a sovereign people.

Throughout
his life Thomas Jefferson was suspicious of potential abuse
and tyranny that could come from a federal government inadequately kept in
check by the very checks and balances system he helped carefully construct:

Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental acts
of the day. But a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and
pursued unalterably through every change of ministers [administrations]; too
plainly proves a deliberate systematic plan of reducing us to slavery.

Abraham
Lincoln once said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Before they
slip us all into their shackles, it’s time to come together as one formidable
unified force to take action, arming ourselves with the truth and then
spreading the power of that truth as far as it’ll take us. In the end evil
cannot defeat truth, honesty and justice.

Virtually
everything globalists and their governing ponds do is focused on one aspect or
another of the divide and conquer formula to their NWO endgame. Most of the
focus of this examination has been on their goal of dividing us into weaker
parts fighting amongst ourselves lending itself heavily to their powerful
advantage. However, lest we forget that the elite is armed with unlimited
weapons in their mighty arsenal expressly used to conquer and destroy us. And
they’ve a plethora of methods at their disposal making us sick and die through
both their hard and soft kill means.

Toxic levels
of industrial fluoride dumped into our water supply and
laced in our toothpaste, mercury and other poisonous metals and impurities
specially concocted for vaccine delivery, raining down of heavy
metals with their daily dose of geo-engineered chemtrails, killer Fukushima radiation levels bombarding us by
air and water contaminating our entire food chain… then all our lives we’ve
been inhaling heavily polluted air and ingesting GMO/chemically processed/Monsanto soaked/nutrient starved dead food
poisoning, living under chronic stress that’s killing us as we work longer hours on less wages making it near impossible to make
ends meet with a 95% devalued dollar after a century of being robbed
blind and preyed upon by the parasitic Federal Reserve globalists. If the
elite’s slow death attack isn’t eugenically getting the job done for them, in
an instant they can exercise their final solution option a mere nuke push button away. One way or the other, they’ve
rigged the deck so not one of us gets out of here alive.

But until we
don’t, prior to our being conked and conquered to death, along with the truth
we still do have a few options of our own to fight back with. Truth and
knowledge represent the very power that they’re most afraid of. When they are
hit with the truth, they are knocked back, cowering the way a vampire reacts to
daylight or worse, a stake being driven through its heart. With the light of
truth let us drive our power of truth straight through their heartless hearts.
As an empowered, informed and courageously committed solidarity of world
citizenry acting together as one, we can go a long ways toward liberating
ourselves from their yoke of oppression. Right now we still outnumber them 7
billion to their ponerologically impaired handful. They are incapable of caring
or loving others. We real humans do have a decided advantage in that
department. So armed with the power of both truth and love guided from above
that they can never take away from us, while we still have the numbers
overwhelmingly in our favor, it’s time to fight back through civil disobedience
accompanied by wise selection of where our hard-earned dollars go. Together
undivided and unconquered, we still can prevail. After all, good in the end
always conquers evil.
